Yarden Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 delivers a distinguished expression of this classic grape, shaped by the unique volcanic terroir of its origin. Sourced entirely from the finest Cabernet Sauvignon blocks in the cool Golan Heights appellation of Galilee, Israel, the vineyards sit at impressive altitudes ranging from 400 to 1,200 meters above sea level. This elevation, combined with the region's rocky volcanic soil, contributes significantly to the wine's focused character and structure.
This elegant Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromatic notes of ripe black and red fruits. Deeper exploration reveals compelling layers of chocolate, subtle tobacco, earth, and a hint of herbs. The palate is full-bodied and richly flavored, echoing the dark fruit and adding nuances of plum, mocha, and graphite, as noted by Wine Spectator. Its time aging in French oak barrels, 40% of which were new, for 18 months imparts touches of sandalwood smoke and contributes to a harmonious, well-integrated profile with a fresh, mineral-driven finish.
Crafted using sustainable farming practices, this Israeli red wine showcases both power and finesse. Awarded 91 points by Wine Spectator, the Yarden Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is drinking beautifully now but promises further development and excellent drinking for a decade or more. It offers a superb pairing for seared beef tenderloin, lamb chops, or mushroom-based pasta dishes.
